ON
October 28 from 4-6PM PST, listen in to StusShow.com for
my next conversation with Stu Shosak.

I’ll be talking about the
Disney/Mouseketeer controversy that’s resulted in my being
excluded from appearing with other original Mice at two MMC
60th Anniversary celebrations and the August D23 Convention
Tribute to the Original Mouseketeers. This has hurt me
greatly, especially since no one from Disney and none of the Mice will talk
to me.

I'll also discuss life and
career before and after the MMC – from Roy Rogers to Ginger
Rogers to Elvis and Robin Williams. The update of my book,
The Accidental Mouseketeer (2014 through
Annette’s death) will also be part of the conversation if I
have anything to do with it.

Stu will be taking
listeners' questions via email.

If you miss the original
podcast, it will be available at stusshow.com by selecting
Archives and paying 99¢ to access it. In case you need a
loan, I’m out of town!

Heading to the Little Red Schoolhouse trailer on the lot.
This must have been a publicity shot since this isn't how we
usually dressed for school.

INTRODUCING THE ORIGINAL
"MOUSECAR"

I was NOT surprised to receive
Walt’s answer to the Oscar, which is
called a Mousecar (MOUSE-cur).

Created by Walt back in the Hyperion
days to honor exemplary work, these
were given sparingly to artists and
special friends like Benny Goodman
and the Sherman Brothers. Walt
presented the first one in 1940 to
his brother Roy Disney.

A few of
the original Mouseketeers received
these in August, 2015.

This
is an earlier Mickey than the one I worked with in the 50s.
Like everyone, the Mick’ changed over the years. Some think
for the better, others, not so much. For one thing, his tail
got fatter!

HANGING
WITH SOME FRIENDS

Two Mouseketeers* enjoying "100 Years of Magic" at WDW.

*The late Roy Disney, Jr. who may have lost his EARS
off of his world class sailboat.

CHIP and I are
sad that DALE is missing.

EARS WOULD NOT FIT PROPERLY FOR
EITHER OF US.

On a backstage San Diego Zoo tour.
